Son of man accused of killing 2 doesn't believe his father

Ronnie Evridge charged with 2 counts of murder

An Oldham County man admitted to killing two women five months ago and claimed it was in self-defense.

Ronnie Evridge, 57, now faces murder charges.

On Monday, his son told WLKY he doubts his father's claims.

Five months ago, Evridge told WLKY his 24-year-old girlfriend and her younger sister were at his house and the two of them attacked him. He fought back, killing them both.

Kevin Evridge said he thinks his father was lying when he said he killed the women in self-defense.

“It was kind of back and forth. Like, I believed him and then I didn't believe him,” Kevin Evridge said.

Kevin Evridge said parts of his dad's story just didn't add up, starting with the injury Ronnie Evridge claimed he got when sisters Sandy Allen and Heather Faulkerson shot him in the arm.

“When I saw the cut on his arm and he told me how it all played out and I didn't believe him from then,” Kevin Evridge said. “It looked like it was at the wrong angle to me. I think that he probably killed them and then cut his arm and then planted all the weapons and stuff.”

Police arrested Evridge over the weekend after they said he attempted to run away. An arsenal of weapons and ammunition were recovered from the scene and from his car.

Exactly what happened the day the sisters were shot to death is only known by the man accused of killing them.

For Kevin Evridge, that's the most chilling part.

“He's the only one who really knows, I think. Or will ever know,” Kevin Evridge said.

Ronnie Evridge is also charged with tampering with physical evidence.
